Collection of 42 original vintage color glossy 8 x 9 first-generation photos taken by the Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera (ALSCC), showing detailed close-up shots of the rocky lunar soil. All have "A Kodak Paper" watermarks on the reverse, with several marked "Elle" in ballpoint. In overall fine condition. The ALSCC was a specialized stereo camera that astronauts could use to take pairs of close-up photographs of the moon's surface; it was used on Apollo 11, Apollo 12, and Apollo 14. The photographs returned by the ALSCC revealed the grainy structure of lunar soil, as well as its unlikely property of cohesion—despite being bone-dry, it can clump together and stand unsupported for at least a few centimeters.
